Haha ok, so I was doing something really stupid. Basically I thought that the hash was the actual password. Thanks for clarifying that 🤣

I've reset the password, reverted back to tlschallenge and basicauth is indeed working:

```auto
2024-02-28T15:05:25+01:00 DBG github.com/traefik/traefik/v3/pkg/middlewares/auth/basic_auth.go:86 > Authentication succeeded middlewareName=myauth@docker middlewareType=BasicAuth

```

Only one ERR remaining in my log now, how do I fix this one?

```auto
